it's when you get down to concrete levels, and that's why neither the romney budget, nor the ryan budget get into specifics. it's we'll cut discretionary domestic spending by 20% overall, but we're not going to tell you what the specifics are because if you do, you get into cuts in food safety and meat inspection, cuts in small airports because your going to have to cut -- you're going to have to cut out the faa, in health research, in the fema, in homeland security. that's where the programs are, that's where the money is. big bird doesn't help very much on that front. and i think that's part of the argument that we have ahead. obama very specificically said he wanted a deal that would have one dollar in revenue increases for every 2.50 in budget cuts. so we're talking about a 30/70 ratio being pretty much there. he endorsed the gang of six plan that was the coburn and durbin etal plan back in 2011 and has made it pretty clear that he understands that accepting especially cutbacks in medicare and medicaid in the future growth as part of an overall deal just has to be done if you can als

of pursuing a paul ryan-like entitlement reform which the country definitely need to get the debt to gdp ratio back to a sustainable level. but there's also the risk that conservatives will revert to the bush era tendencies of supporting whatever the head guy in the republican party wants to do regardless of whether it is conservative, regardless of whether it is consistent with the rhetoric that was used during the campaign, regardless of whether it's in the interest of the country. and i think that that is something that we hope that conservatives will have internalized, a lot of the rhetoric and arguments that they've made in the last four years against obama, and be willing to apply those to a romney administration as well. i think in terms if the president is reelected, i think that's a very good opportunity for conservatives who are very fastidious about the constitution who are maybe a little bit more skeptical about erosions of civil liberties than earlier generations of conservatives, conservatives who might be a little bit more willing to scrutinize the pentagon budget. i t
